Favourite Blur album?

13BlurParklife / Modern Life is RubbishThink TankThe Great Escape / Leisure

We all know of the "life trilogy", but I have always thought it was a shame we didn't get a "numbers trilogy", imagine if we had two more follow ups to 13 produced by Orbit...with what D&G were doing in the post 13 years it's a question that can only be answered in a parallel universe.

Bang is by far one of the most underrated Blur songs, ever. I absolutely love it. That guitar riff is heaven.

YES!

So glad more people agree! It's a very fun song to sing we all know Blur playing Country House when they first reunited was a big deal... now what if they play Bang live for the first time since 91/92 (not counting Singles Night)?? I would be SO happy!

Modern Life Is Rubbish for me, bought it back in 1993 and it blew me away, after not really getting into them during Leisure (was still buying Jive Bunny!). I am in the minority with 13 as im not a fan of Orbit's production, BLUREMI is so much better live without his Donald Duck tampering!

I'd have really loved to see this, and I had renewed hopes when the guys met Orbit again and had that UTW experiment three years ago... But I guess that now it's definitely messed up...

So I'm seeing my ranking has some unpopular choices Oh, well...

Think Tank

As I said in another post, I love Think Tank but don't fully consider it a Blur album, so I can't seem to fit it among the rest of the albums in the ranking.

I still love Think Tank, although as I remember someone pointing out on the old forum TT fans are usually people who got into Blur around that time, which would certainly be true for me, having only listened to The Best Of before that...
